This team is a mess out there right now. For a guy who preached possession,GG team has been more of a turnover machine. This team also can't buy a lucky bounce. Gotta figure this out soon.

The first line seems really frustrated. Understandably so, they've been our worst.

They're not playing that bad in my mind. They have to start putting pucks in the net though.

This team without Hudler is horrible. They lack veteran playmaking.

While I want to panic and blow this thing up because I'm frustrated as hell, it does look like a totally different game style than what we've seen the past few years. I think we should give GG the benefit of the doubt that he didn't get a full team for training camp and pre-season. It's really been a week since he has had the full team.

If this #### looks the exact same by the end of Game 5 and it takes us until Game 10 to even get close to .500, then we got some major issues.

I agree. They're playing very boring, but not badly

I still feel good about the Flames chances in the third. Despite a lot of ugliness through 40 minutes. Remember how the Sedins showed up for the last 5 minutes and the Canucks snuck out with a win? The Flames have been better than that Canuck group was through 40 minutes tonight.

The biggest disappointment for me so far this season is how Sean Monahan looks right now.

Can't handle the puck, keeps fanning on shots, can't make a pass, can't handle a pass, looks slow, zero physical play, pushed off pucks easily, looks clueless defensively.

He has to be hurt right? Right?

I bet GG only gets about 5 games to ply his trade.

6 games MAX

If the team isn't pouring in 7 or 8 goals per game by then I'm sure BT will pull the trigger and go back to the drawing board.

WTF is this bull####???

We're down 2-1 in a game, while not super exciting, is a helluva lot better than the tire fires against Edmonton. We've controlled most of the play, put a lot more pucks on net, and had some bad luck go against us.

Honestly, this entire board is borderline unreadable these days.
